They are friends and they are important because without ally’s we wouldn’t be where we are today. Not to mention someone might come into that streamers chat and ask questions about being part of that community and then the ally is speaking for us.Īlly’s are not part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Using the tag literally takes a slot from someone part of the community and pushes queer creators down. On twitch specifically if an ally uses the tag they can be shown above queer creators in the search results based on viewer average. People would be upset if you used a closed captioning tag if you didn’t use captions, a disability tag if you are able bodied, or claimed you were a race that you weren’t. An ally’s job is to raise up the voices of the marginalized community that they support not to speak over them. Allies are not in the community, the A in the acronym stands for Asexual. Thanks to /u/iTruthful and Conceptional for the art! Clip Contest: November 4th - 18th AMA: Previously: Certified Ergonomic Specialist and an Occupational TherapistĪny person using the tag of a community they are not in is wrong.
